Price does not include: International flights (unless special agreement), insurance, visa fees, beverages, items of personal use and tips.

Adjustments after booking: If you want to make changes in your itinerary after booking we will arrange for this if it is possible. Note that the dates for gorilla and chimpanzee trekking cannot be adjusted after booking.

Changes in itinerary: In the case of unforeseen circumstances (such as road closures, bad weather, security conditions or problems with hotels) Dav Safaris reserves the right to make adjustments in the itinerary. You will off-course be informed about this as soon as possible.

Payment: We will ask you for a down payment in connection with making the booking (this payment always includes the Gorilla permits/Chimpanzee permits since these have to be secured right away). At the latest one month prior to the start of the safari full payment should be made (unless other terms have been agreed). Bookings made within one month of departure must be paid in full in connection to booking. After receipt of first down payment Dav Safaris will take necessary steps to secure bookings of items specified in the itinerary.

Means of payment: Payment from abroad should be done through bank transfer to our account in Uganda. Fees for transfer are paid by the client. We accept payment in cash in at least USD, EURO or GB pound sterling.

During the safari: The animals in the parks are wild so no guarantees can be given of good sightings during game drives or trekking, but rangers and our guides will do their very best to make sure you get a great experience.

Vehicles: We put a lot of energy into getting cars that are in a roadworthy condition. Despite this punctures, breakdowns, damage or any other delay can occur due to poor road conditions that are out of our control, for this no liability can be accepted.

60> days to start of safari 10% charge

Gorilla permits and flight tickets are excluded from percentages above and are 100% non-refundable.

Cancellations due to Covid-19 Pandemic; Dav Safaris is responsible for refunding all the transferred amount except Gorillas and chimpanzees trekking permit/s funds. (Once purchased, Gorillas and Chimpanzee permits can only be rescheduled for further use). However for this to happen we should be informed at least 2 weeks prior to arrival date for this safari.

In this case rescheduling is allowed without any extra charge or penalty, if the travel season remains the same and this can only affect accommodation. 

Complaints: Any issues that occur during the safari should be reported immediately to the guide and we'll do our best to resolve it. If an issue has not been solved to the client's satisfaction a written complaint should be e-mailed to us no later than 30 days after finishing the safari.

Liability: Dav Safaris cannot accept liability or pay compensation for unforeseen circumstances that are out of our control. This includes flight delays/cancellations, war/threat of war, riots, civil unrest, terrorist attacks, border closure, acts of the government, strikes, thefts, epidemics, road closure, natural disasters, extreme weather conditions, fire, technical/mechanical problems to transport due to bad roads and similar events beyond the company's control.

Insurance: It is the client’s responsibility to make sure that they have sufficient coverage with travel insurance.

Health: It is the responsibility of the client to insure that proper medical precautions (immunizations and so on) have been taken.

Travel Insurance
We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance alongside your travel package to safeguard against unforeseen circumstances such as medical expenses, trip cancellations, and other contingencies. It offers you peace of mind and ensures you are prepared for unexpected events that may occur before or during your journey
